I gave it to Button. A little unlucky to lose his gap at the first SC, but then lucky to get it back again thanks to the Hulk/Ham incident. Overall though he drove well, especially pre 1st SC on the slicks and didn't make any errors.

Tough one to call but have to go for Vettel. Granted, he had his worst start of the season but recovered from two collisions (the initial impact with Senna and the other car who whacked the back of his car), came back through the field from last, did an extra pit stop for dry tires when the rain was coming down harder and then a botched pit stop with a dozen laps remaining and still managed to get 6th all while driving with a damaged car.

Voted for Vettel. He was hit amd sent into spin, damaged the car enough to affect its balance and even had to cope with an ill-judged pit-stop & tyre change by his team. Under those circumstances and considering the pressures he was facing, he drove very well.

Felipe. Did a blinder of driving rear-gunner for Fernando in the early part of the race and was there to back him up at the end. All this with a strategy compromised for this very purpose. Was mighty impressed with some of his overtakes as well.

IMO, can't argue anyone but Button, surely? His pace was great, and he was spot on (as usual) with tyre choice. But *for sure* honourable mention to Massa - he raced a better race than Alonso, it's just a shame we didn't get to see if he could have got up to the front.

I almost voted Raikkonen for sheer amusement factor. That was the funniest thing I've seen in ages, but I also had to give him respect because there was a method to his madness and he just got caught out by the fact there was no exit back onto the circuit.

But my driver of the day was Hamilton. He was beating his teammate both in track position and pace-wise and he was patient when his car wasn't as fast as Hulkenberg's and capitalised when it was faster. He was a totally innocent passenger when Hulkenberg misjudged his opportunity with the backmarkers and got the corner wrong and punted him off. And I am very, very far from a Hamilton supporter.

I have to agree with this. Hulk, Hamilton and Button were the class of the field, but Hulk made mistakes at crucial moments. Hamilton really was quite lucky to be anywhere near the fight for victory, but that was cancelled out by the fact he got taken out. Button lacked the pace in the middle part of the race, but he had the most balanced race, so I have to give it to him.
